Taking the Yidu Mountains in the cold winter of 1935 as the background, it vividly presents the legendary story of a group of tough and brave women fighting for survival and freedom in difficult years.
At the beginning of the story, there are constant natural and man-made disasters around Phoenix Mountain, but the wealthy gentry are hoarding food regardless of the lives of the people. Jiang Ying stepped forward and persuaded the security chief Zou Shunqing to open a warehouse to release grain, which solved the people's urgent needs. Her wisdom and courage are admirable.
In the deep mountains of Diaoyudong, Ye Chengmei and dozens of other women struggled to survive in the mountains to avoid being pursued by the wealthy gentry. After learning that Jiao Ziying had led the guerrillas back to Phoenix Mountain, Ye Chengmei resolutely decided to go out and make contact. She set out in the mountain fog in the early morning, and was surrounded by dangers along the way. With her wit and bravery, she cleverly avoided the enemy's investigation.
In the process of searching for the guerrillas, Ye Chengmei went through hardships. She encountered the harsh natural environment. In the end, she successfully found Jiao Ziying and conveyed the plight of the women in Diaoyudong.
These women in Yidu Mountain, whether Jiao Ziying, Jiang Ying, Zou Qiuping, or Ye Chengmei, supported each other in difficult situations and fought against injustice in their own way. Their story is not only a history of women's struggle, but also a microcosm of that special era, showing the brilliance of three people's humanity and their desire for freedom. "Women of Weiyidu Mountain" allows readers to feel the power and responsibility of women in that turbulent era. It is a moving masterpiece.
